Abstract

Colorectal cancer is the third most frequent cancer worldwide. It is more common in adults over the age of 50, while environmental and genetic variables have a part to play in etiology. However, studies have indicated that nutrition plays a role in both the cause and prevention of colon cancer. Pogonatherum paniceum (Lam.) Hack (PP) is a grass family with exceptional detoxification properties. This study is focused on the anti-proliferative effect of PP extract and apoptosis related mechanism. MTT, MTS, and colony formation assays were used to evaluate the anti-proliferative activities of human HT29 colon cancer cells. The results suggest that greater concentrations of PP extract reduced the viability of HT29 cancer cells after 48 hours, as shown by an IC50 of 1.2 ± 0.06 mg/mL. Moreover, PP extract induces apoptosis in HT29 cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner (0.5-0.75 mg/mL). In conclusion, PP extract is an alternative treatment for colorectal cancer cells.
